SANTIAGO DE CUBA, April 5.-Three
fiends, in human form, were shot
this afternoon on the outskirts of the
city, at a place made famous by the
shooting OF the crew OF the Virginius.
The men were two mulattoes, Juan
Jiguc and Juan Gomez, and an In
dian, Juan Cocarras. They surprised
the driver OF a train of cocoa laden
pack mules, and his assistant, a mere
lad, cut them down with machetes,
(long swords, like knives,) tied them
to trees, and practiced shooting, and
other revolving cruelties of the Ameri-
can Indian fashion on their victims
until they were dead. They sold
the cocoa for $68 and turned the mules
loose. They were captured and SEN
fenced to be shot. The case was stub
born y fought, going fiji ally to the
Queen, who refused pardon. Last
night Gomez made a public confession
and acknowledged that he had killed
10 men, and he was ready to die that
his mother had seven more sons like
him, who would avenge his death.
The numbering proclivities in that
family are hereditary. The father
was one of Cuba's most notorious
murderers. The prisoners were taken
out by the military, and placed kneel-
ing with their faces to the slaughter
house wall. Several thousand people
surrounded the military lines and
looked on. Gomez, the leader, spoke
up and said: my mother has seven
sons, and | am the most cowardly of
them all, for allowing myself to be
killed before so many people. Priest,
give me a drink OF rum" He got his
drink. At the first volley from the
firing party of "a, all fell, shot
through the head and body. Gomez
rolled over as if in pain, and twoanore
bullets were put into him. The In
dian still showed a little life, and a
soldier coolly stepped to the front and
deliberately fired a bullet through his
head. The cart come in for the bodies,
and all was over.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, April 5.-OH-
GERS in pursuit of Bello and John
Brown, notorious d~esperadoes, impli-
Gated in the wrecking of the Atlantic
& Pacific train near Bluewater last
January, came upon them yesterday
near Lajoya. A summons to halt was
answered by a shot from Bello and
Browns revolvers. The officers re-
turned the fire, and Brown tumbled
from the saddle dead. Bello threw up
his hands and surrendered. He will
be taken to Socorro county under the
charges of murder and horse stealing.
This is the second of a band of train
wreckers that have been killed by the
officers. Three are in Jail waiting
trial. This breaks up one, of the worst
gangs of desperadoes that ever infested
New Mexico.
Death OF T.. G.. Fairfield and Wife.
New York, April 5.-Francis Garry
Fairfield, clergyman, journalist, author
of a work ON spiritualism, and veterin-
airy surgeon, died early yesterday in a
southern clearinghouse, from the eff
fects Of the opium habit. While he
was on his death-bed his wife, Joseph
inc, daughter of Judge Griswold, of
the United States District Court, and
sister-in-law of Bret Harte, died from
the same cause in a clearinghouse,
81 Sturtevant street, and her body was
sent to the morgue. He did not know
of her death, and their relatives were
not aware of it until her body had
been sent to the potter's field for burial.

wife fell into the same habit. They

boarding houses, avoiding wealthy and

the polling places. The polls opened
at 6o'clock, and the greater portion of
the Labor vote was polled during the |
early hours. At 8 O'Clock reports from
the various precincts showed that from
o~ne-fourth to one-half the entire regis
tered vote had been cast.
